Starcraft II Resources

[Ardnived]

I have two points to raise,


Firstly, will the Hive be creating separate resource sections for Starcraft 2 Models, Skins, and Icons?


Second, has anyone begun creating any resources for Starcraft 2?

With Blizzard apparently releasing GE tomorrow with the reset, it would be nice to have some resources available for projects, particularly I am sure, RPGs and the like.

I saw somebody did a quite simple re-skin for the Protoss, but hopefully someone will come out with some models soon, if possible.

Models are a lot (well, it seems like a lot for some - I'm not sure if it really is) more complex in Sc2. Don't expect a shit load of them right away.

 

[Ardnived]

Of course not, I was just wondering if anyone had started working on any.

I think models are going to be the least amount of things we have. We'll have waaaay more reskins and systems than models, simply because they're so hard to make now.

I wanna point out that my stats are reset like every day including me getting some different name in the profile as part of the bugs, that Blizz say will fix. But I guess this is reset, not RESET.

Yeah I am having that happen too.


@alex, wow that guys looks really really nice, now I wish I had the tools and skill to model


I guess it will probably end up with people mostly only making models for projects they are in, as that guy is doing.

Well, Blizzard mentioned publishing "mod packs" to their "Battle.Net Cloud" and then maps could just reference these models, and therefore just share one model file over many maps, extremely decreasing map size. It would work like referencing a model in the MPQ... Except instead of a filepath, it'd be like a link or something.

 

[Ardnived]

Yeah, but I assumed they meant they would be publishing user made resources.


Its a great idea, I think it would still be a path though.
